Switzerland sticks to tougher ID checks for crypto to cash transactions

11/02 12:50

According to CoinDesk, the Swiss financial regulator is extending money-laundering checks for crypto transactions despite significant pushback from the country’s users. A threshold of 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,000) over which customers will have to prove their identity will now apply to all linked transactions over a month, when crypto is swapped for cash or another anonymous form of money. “Virtual currencies are often used as a payment instrument for illicit trade, notably in drug trafficking, on the darknet, or for the payment of ransoms after cyberattacks,” a report issued by the Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) said. “The risk of money laundering in the domain of virtual currency is reinforced by potential anonymity and by the speed and cross-border nature of transactions.”
